STOP WHAT YOURE DOING

here’s my cat
Fluffy ragdoll cat Nibbler sitting in a 1AD small-medium Amazon cardboard box. He has one elbow propped up on the edge and he’s looking off into the side distance with an air of wistful regret like a surly trucker who’s seen too much and loved too little.

There are seven differences between these two pictures.

#SpotTheDifference #1
Star Trek TNG episode "Qpid". Exterior, forest path. Picard and crew are dressed as Robin Hood characters. Dr. Crusher has a sword and an unadorned hat. Worf's bandage has blood on it. There's an empty dirt path between Worf and Troi. Behind Troi there are three pale trees in a fork shape. Data has a full head of hair, and a rope belt dangles from his monk robe waist. Star Trek TNG episode "Qpid". Exterior, forest path. Picard and crew are dressed as Robin Hood characters. Dr. Crusher has no sword but has a feather in her hat. Worf's bandage is clean.

When Bashir told Garak about the boy who cried wolf.
The chopper meme, with the characters replaced with Garak and Bashir from Deep Space Nine. Panel 1: Garak as the chopper dad, saying "WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE GRAPHIC FOR CHILDREN, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?". Panel 2: Bashir as chopper son, saying "BUT THE POINT IS, IF YOU LIE ALL THE TIME, NOBODY'S GOING TO BELIEVE YOU, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH". Panel 3: Garak still seated as chopper dad, saying "ARE YOU SURE THAT'S THE POINT, DOCTOR?". Panel 4: Wide shot of both characters. Chopper dad Garak is standing, looking surprised in the left background. Chopper son Bashir is swinging a chair in anger, saying "OF COURSE. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?" Panel 5: chopper dad Garak standing and pointing, saying "THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER TELL THE SAME LIE TWICE"

Lost isn't a comedy but once in a while it makes me burst out laughing
Scene from Lost. John Locke is with Ben Linus in a house. Ben is in a wheelchair, John is standing behind him. John: "Where do you get electricity?" Scene from Lost. John Locke is with Ben Linus in a house. Ben is in a wheelchair, John is standing behind him. Ben: "We have two giant hamsters running in a massive wheel"

When my alarm went off, the first thing I saw was Nibbler staring at me from the cat tree like I’m on stage at a comedy club and he’s paid good money to hear me say something funny.
Fluffy ragdoll cat staring at camera from on top of a cat tree. Behind him on the wall we see part of a framed poster of Back to the Future.

Douglas Adams' General Note to Self

transcription in alt text

source: www.theguardian.com/books/2021/m...
Handwritten note on pile of paper: GENERAL NOTE TO MYSELF Writing isn’t so bad really when you get through the worry. Forget about the worry, just press on. Don’t be embarrassed about the bad bits. Don’t strain at them. Give yourself time you can come back and do it again in the light of what you discover about the story later on. It's better to have pages and pages of material to work with and off and maybe find an unexpected shape in that you can then craft and put to good use, rather than one manically reworked paragraph or sentence. But writing can be good. You attack it, don’t let it attack you. You can get pleasure out of it. You can certainly do very well for yourself with it…!

The Haribo gummi dinosaurs package has this surprisingly flirtatious couple.
A cartoon dinosaur and a cartoon bear on a 5 ounce package of gummi candy. They’re standing very close together, pelvises facing toward each other, grinning at the viewer.

Unnn-make my beddddd
Turn it into a fort
Taaaaake all these
Pillows and blankets
And stack them like pillars
A sheet they’ll support
My bed, with a stack of pillows at one end and a stack of blankets at the other, with a sheet spread across both pillars making any empty fort underneath. My fluffy ragdoll cat Nibbler is emerging from under the sheet.
